Welcome to the Kingdom (“the app”, “we”, “us”) is a social media analytics app run by Marcus Tavares, an individual in the United Kingdom (“the Operator”). The Operator is the “controller” of your personal data under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Contact for anything in this policy: Marcus.tavarez@hotmail.com.
At the date above the app is run by the Operator on the Operator's own computer. Data is stored there and is not placed on any other company's servers. If that changes, for example if the app is hosted with a cloud provider or takes card payments through a payment company, this policy will be updated first and the change will be shown to you.
| Data | Where it comes from | Why we use it |
|---|---|---|
| Email address, display name, and your password stored only as a salted one-way hash | You, when you register | To create and secure your account and send you account messages |
| Interests, growth objective, and the target audience settings you choose (countries, age ranges, categories) | You | To personalise insights and compare your goals with your real audience data |
| YouTube channel ID, channel title and handle, subscriber count | YouTube Data API, after you approve access | To identify your channel and chart your growth |
| Daily totals for up to the last 90 days: views, watch time, likes, comments, shares, subscribers gained and lost | YouTube Analytics API | To build your growth, engagement and report screens |
| Your recent uploads: title, publish date, and view, like and comment counts | YouTube Data API | To show content performance and best-performing videos |
| Audience summaries for roughly the last 90 days: share of views by country, by age group, from subscribers versus non-subscribers, and by traffic source | YouTube Analytics API | To show whether you are reaching the audience you want. These are group percentages, not information about individual people |
| Google sign-in tokens (encrypted) | Google, after you approve access | To fetch the data above without asking you to sign in every time |
| Session cookie, a hashed form of your IP address, your browser type, and a log of account actions (such as connecting or disconnecting) | Your browser and the app | To keep you signed in, protect against abuse, and keep a security record |
| Records of the permissions you agreed to, with the date | You | To show what you consented to |
We do not sell your data. We do not use it for advertising or for profiling you for advertisers. We do not use it to train artificial intelligence models. Nobody reads your YouTube data except where you ask us for support and agree to it, where it is needed to investigate a security problem, or where the law requires it.
The app uses YouTube API Services. By using the app you also agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google's handling of your data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.
The app asks for two read-only permissions:
youtube.readonly) to read your channel details, subscriber count and uploads.yt-analytics.readonly) to read your channel's views, watch time, engagement, subscriber changes and audience summaries.Welcome to the Kingdom's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
In practice this means we use data received from Google only to provide and improve the analytics features you see in the app. We do not transfer it to others except where needed to provide those features, to comply with the law, or as part of a merger or sale with your notice. We do not use it for advertising, and no person reads it unless one of the exceptions in section 3 applies.
You can withdraw the app's access at any time, either with Disconnect in the app's Settings or on Google's page for managing app access: security.google.com/settings/security/permissions.
Under the UK GDPR we rely on:
We do not sell or rent your data and we do not share it for marketing. At the date above, no other company processes your data for us: it is stored on the Operator's own computer. The app does send requests to Google's servers to fetch your data, as you would expect, and Google handles that data under its own privacy policy.
We may disclose information if the law or a court requires it, or to protect the safety, rights or property of users or the public.
No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach puts your rights at risk we will tell you and, where required, the Information Commissioner's Office.
Under UK data protection law you have the right to:
The app has built-in tools for the most common requests: Settings → Your data and privacy lets you download everything we hold about you and delete your account. For anything else, contact Marcus.tavarez@hotmail.com. We will reply within one month.
If you are unhappy with how we handle your data you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint. We would appreciate the chance to put it right first.
The app uses one essential session cookie to keep you signed in and a security token that protects your requests. Your browser's local storage remembers small preferences such as the platform and date range you last selected. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not use third-party analytics.
The app and this website load fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser contacts Google to fetch them.
The app is for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone younger. If you believe a child has registered, contact us and we will delete the account.
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top. For significant changes, such as adding a company that processes your data, we will tell you in the app before the change applies.
